Providing breast milk to an infant is one of the most important physiological benefits a new mother can provide to her child and is described as the most important method of parenting more valuable (Cleveland, 2000; Glass et al. , 2010; Isaacson, 2006; Juliff, Downie and Rapley, 2007; Kloeblen-Tarver, Thompson and Miner, 2002; Simmie, 2006; Tarrant and Dodgson, 2007) but in the world . three children are exclusively breastfed for the first four months of their young lives (Hunt, 2007; Isaacson, 2006). Current recommendations from the World Health Organization (2011) are that women exclusively breastfeed their infants for at least the first six months of life, followed by the introduction of safe complementary foods while continuing to breastfeed for two years, or even beyond. The benefits of breast milk are so widely supported in the literature that the World Health Organization and the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund have their mandates focused on promoting breastfeeding (Boucher, Brazal , Graham-Certosini, Carnaghan-Sherrard and Feeley, 2011). ). Despite all current recommendations, adolescent and new mothers have consistently lower levels of breastfeeding initiation and duration than older adults (Glass, Tucker, Stewart, Baker, & Kauffman, 2009). In 2005, there were 30,948 pregnancies under the age of 20 in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2010) and in 2009 in the United States, there were a total of 409,840 infants born to adolescents aged 15 to 19 years (CDC, 2011). ). Although teenage pregnancy rates have declined in some areas, teenage pregnancy remains a problem for which education is lacking and with the benefits of breastfeeding known worldwide...... middle of article......e, E.
